Holy thread resurrection....
Is there much love for these still on here? I've a pretty much mint full set example which I picked up a few years ago from Alastair if I remember correctly and I've just never worn it much because it was mint. No idea what it's worth now, guessing less than an LV desire being much rarer￼!
How many are left on here?

I would consider using Duncan at Genesis for a service but if you're selling I can understand why you might choose Rolex.
I haven't been on here for a long while but remember your observations on the LV when it's value for c£5k max! Strange times for certain watches.....

I've been MIA from here for a while however I recall some years ago there was a member who was modding a couple of these using Tag dials to create a chronos like this.
My RLT29 is as upgraded by Roy, with the Tag knurled crown and back. The screw in crown no longer works as with many others but it doesn't see water so not an issue for me.

I is not surprised. Great make and lovely looking watch so congrats. I miss the Conquest Heritage I had for a while and suspect I'll pick up another at some point as it was just lovely in an olde worlde type gone by kind of way.

Maybe everyone should own a Speedie at some point but they are common as owt, exist in multiple variations and manual winding means it would get less wear with me.
I've slim wrists too so as a daily wearer I'd suggest:
Modern - the new 36mm BB or an Explorer if you need to scratch that Rolex itch.
Old - a Tudor sub, 79190, before they hit the £3k mark.
